Dave Jones will be pondering whether to stick or twist ahead of Cardiff's huge clash against Sheffield Wednesday.

The Bluebirds need just a point at Hillsborough to be sure of a play-off place, while anything less than victory for Preston at home to QPR will also be enough.

If Cardiff lose and Preston win then the Welsh outfit would more than likely still claim a top-six finish on goal difference if Burnley fail to beat Bristol City.

Following three successive victories, Cardiff have picked up just one point from a possible last nine, conceding 11 goals in the process. And it will be in defence where Jones will most likely consider changes.

Club captain Darren Purse could be recalled in place of Gabor Gyepes at centre-back, while Riccy Scimeca may also feature. Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Stephen McPhail, Peter Whittingham and Michael Chopra are all also pressing for recalls. Tom Heaton should keep his place in goal.

Influential midfielder Joe Ledley has also emerged as a doubt due to a hamstring injury but he will be given every chance to prove his fitness.
